Exelent book!
I've been a private investigator for twelve years. Read many books on the topic. This is by far, the best well put and easy to understand Private investigator book for a private investigator who's just starting in the field, or a private investigator who's been in the field for twenty years. Excellent book!!!

reads like a stereo pamlet, but it's a book
Maybe I'm being harsh, but this is a good book to make the decision to make that step. I say this because I got a new book that takes all the guess work out with valuable websites and more. This book is also really bias to the East Coast and he makes that clear by saying " find out your local requirements. No book in print will lay it out state by state. Some states require no PI license. hint: a book for idiots(incorrectly named)

Solid book and gave a great overview of what private investigating is
Solid book and gave a great overview of what private investigating is. I would suggest reading it before getting into the profession. Also, it's more or less a text book, so don't expect it to be riveting with excitement.

Introduction to PI
Introduction to PI work - this book goes from A-Z in all subjects. They also give examples with their subjects. Great book. I highly recommend it.

Both informative and annoying
There is a good deal of basic information contained within this book, and it is worth committing to memory, though most of this profession is something one learns from experience. While most of the book is plain information, well-organized, I did find it annoying anytime the author's personality came through; he is a college professor in DC, and it certainly shows. Those who are able to read between the lines may find themselves wishing they were not intelligent enough to do so as they navigate Mr. Becnel's book. Overall, it is useful knowledge.

more academic theory than practice
A must read if you wish to become a private investigator in the state of Virginia. Otherwise a little dry read but worthwhile to learn a new occupation, certainly one that is rarely considered. Well written by an expert in the field.
